Turn Back the Battle at the Gate

Tyranny demands that a man submit to any violation of his body that government requires. We see this today with the so-called Covid-19 vaccination. Many government organizations including the military will now require covid vaccines for employees. Many businesses, at government request, are doing the same.

If your employer, boss, or school is demanding that you take the vaccine and you do not want to, then you need to print off one of the applicable forms linked here and provide it to that person according to the instructions: https://home.solari.com/forms/

The Gate is our mind, our soul. The battle is now at our gate. Will you protect your own gate?

IF

IF 

BY RUDYARD KIPLING

If you can keep your head when all about you   
    Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,   
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
    But make allowance for their doubting too;   
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
    Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies,
Or being hated, don’t give way to hating,
    And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise:

If you can dream—and not make dreams your master;   
    If you can think—and not make thoughts your aim;   
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
    And treat those two impostors just the same;   
If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken
    Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
    And stoop and build ’em up with worn-out tools:

If you can make one heap of all your winnings
    And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
    And never breathe a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
    To serve your turn long after they are gone,   
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
    Except the Will which says to them: ‘Hold on!’

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,   
    Or walk with Kings—nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
    If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
    With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run,   
Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,   
    And—which is more—you’ll be a Man, my son!

Charged With a Crime?

Have you been charged with a crime? If so, then you need to contact an attorney sooner rather than later. Sometimes I get a call from a frantic defendant (person charged with a crime) who has to be at court the next day with an attorney. In these cases the prospective client rarely has any money saved for a legal fee and sometimes, even if they have money, they do not have time to meet with me before court the next day.

Most of the time I tell these people that I can not represent them on such short notice. I advise them that they need to appear at court the next day, tell the judge they have talked to an attorney, and ask the judge for a continuance so that they have time to retain me. Sometimes a judge will not grant that extra time, but usually the judge will grant the continuance if the defendant has at least made the effort to contact an attorney.

The bottom line is that once you have been charged with a crime you need to be proactive in your own defense. You need to quickly find a good attorney who can help you navigate what is probably a very strange legal system you have now been thrust into. I have a great success rate with being able to keep clients out of jail or even prison. A defendant usually has options and a good attorney will help you find, understand, and pursue those options.

Don’t wait until the last minute! Call me, attorney Glenn Hall, today. I have over 30 years experience in criminal law including some difficult felony jury trials that I have won. Call Glenn Hall at 573-729-2229.

Criminal Defense Attorney Since 1989

I have been practicing criminal defense law since the very first year of my legal practice which began in 1989. My first case was a Federal conspiracy to buy and sell cocaine case. I was appointed to defend one of five defendants. I diligently researched the facts related to my client, even driving over two hundred miles to his home town to investigate certain issues. My investigation convinced me that my client was innocent, but I had a big problem. He had a previous felony conviction and if I allowed him to testify the prosecutor could and would introduce evidence of his past guilt and possibly taint the jury against him.

So, I decided not to allow my client to testify. Typically I allow my clients who maintain their innocence to testify at court  in order to convince the jury of their truthfulness and innocence. This time I did not do that. It seemed too risky and I was advised by old-time attorneys to not allow him to testify. After all, this was my first year of law practice! What did I know about criminal trial strategy? Not much!

The introduction of evidence by both sides ended. The prosecutor made his closing statement and then each of the five attorneys made closing arguments for their clients. I made mine last of all. I argued that the prosecutor was required by law to prove all three elements of the particular two crimes charged. I wrote on a chalk board, “A + B + C = Guilty” only if you know that my client committed acts A, B, and C.  I further argued that the Prosecutor had only shown my client had committed act A, but not act B, and not act C.

Then I argued, “Think of this as an algebra problem.  The equation is a + b + c  = 6.  You know that a = 3, but what is b?  You don’t know.  It could be 2, or 1, or anything else.  What is c?  You don’t know.  It could be any number since you don’t know what b is.  Now consider the Defendant.  You know that A is true, but you don’t know if B is true.  And you don’t know if C is true.  In order to convict the Defendant of this crime you have to know beyond a reasonable doubt that both B and C are true in addition to A being true. But you don’t know that.  You can’t know that because the prosecutor introduced no evidence about B and C as they relate to the Defendant.  You must therefore find Defendant `Not Guilty.'”

The next day the jury came back with its verdicts for all five Defendants.  The verdicts were: Defendant 1 – Guilty, Guilty; Defendant 2 – Guilty, Guilty, Defendant 3 – Guilty, Guilty, Defendant 4 – Guilty, Guilty,  Defendant 5 (my client) – Not Guilty, Not Guilty

If you are not guilty of a crime you have been charged with then call me, Glenn Hall, to represent you. If you are guilty and want the best plea deal possible, then call me.

I’m Too Good of an Attorney for That!

Some time during my first three years as an attorney, around 1991, I remember discussing a case with an attorney at my law firm who had practiced law a few years longer than I had. He was an aspiring criminal defense attorney, had recently been to a week long Criminal Defense Tactics seminarin Colorado, and was telling me about a new serious criminal case he had accepted. By “serious” I mean that that charge was a felony that would have included a long prison sentence if the man had been found guilty.

After he told me some particulars about the case, I asked him, “Did you ask the Defendant if he was guilty?” He smiled and said, “No, I’m too good of an attorney for that!”

What did he mean? Attorneys are governed by certain ethical considerations mandated by every state bar. We must not, for example, do anything in a case with the purpose of deceiving the court, the judge in the case. If an attorney does not ask his client if he is guilty, then that attorney can “presume” he is innocent and present any evidence he finds that he believes will exculpate his client, that is, will make the judge or jury declare the Defendant innocent. This also means that he can present evidence that will fool a jury even though it would not fool a judge.

And this is one of the primary reasons Americans disdain criminal defense attorneys so much. In essence such an attorney takes a bribe (fee) in order to pervert justice (in order to get someone to declare a guilty person innocent).

I have been a very successful criminal defense attorney. But, I always ask my client if he committed the underlying offense. If he did not, then I will advise him to take the case to trial or I will work diligently for a dismissal of the charge or a plea bargain to a different charge that he actually did. If a client clearly announces his innocence and the prosecutor will not offer an adequate plea bargain, then I will almost always advise my client to take the case to jury trial.  I will also advise my client to take the witness stand so that he can tell the jury his side of the story. I believe I have won every single criminal trial in which my client was wrongly accused of a crime and one of the keys to my success is that I have usually advised my client to testify.

So, no, I am not “too good of an attorney” to ask my client if he committed the crime or not. I made up my mind a long time ago that I would not take a bribe in order to pervert justice.

It’s Wise to Take Care of Tickets Quickly

If you get any kind of traffic ticket it is wise to take care of it quickly.  Many tickets people receive will usually lead to points against their licenses.  If a person gets only 8 points during any 12 month period of time, then he will lose his license for at least a year.  It usually only takes three speeding tickets within twelve months to end up with nine points.  In addition even one speeding ticket could lead to an increase in your car insurance premium.

Attorney Glenn Hall is usually able to get a speeding ticket reduced to a non-point violation that will also keep your insurance company from raising your rates. But, in order to get a good plea bargain you have act timely. Never, never, never miss a court a date!  If you do miss court then a warrant will likely be issued for your arrest and the prosecutor may not reduce your ticket to a non-point violation.

In addition, if you contact our law firm shortly after you get your ticket Mr. Hall can usually work out a plea bargain and get your fine paid before your court date.  Then you do not have to appear at court at all.

Call Glenn Hall today at 573-729-2229 or write him at Glenn@Hall-Law.org if you have an outstanding traffic ticket that needs to be dealt with.

Does Mueller Indictment Mean Clinton Campaign Can Be Indicted for Chris Steele?

by Robert Barnes

Special Counsel Robert Mueller indicted foreign citizens for trying to influence the American public about an election because those citizens did not register as a foreign agent nor record their financial expenditures to the Federal Elections Commission. By that theory, when will Mueller indict Christopher Steele, FusionGPS, PerkinsCoie, the DNC and the Clinton Campaign? Mueller’s indictment against 13 Russian trolls claimed their social media political activity was criminal because: they were foreign citizens; they tried to influence an election; and they neither registered under the Foreign Agents Registration Act nor reported their funding to the Federal Elections Commission.

First, if Mueller’s theory is correct, three things make Steele a criminal: first, he is a foreign citizen; second, he tried to influence an election, which he received payments to do (including from the FBI itself); and third, he neither registered as a foreign agent nor listed his receipts and expenditures to the Federal Election Commission. Also, according to the FBI, along the way, Steele lied…a lot, while the dossier he disseminated contained its own lies based on bought-and-paid for smears from foreign sources reliant on rumors and innuendo.

Second, if Mueller’s theory is correct, three things make FusionGPS a criminal co-conspirator: it knew Steele was a foreign citizen; it knew, and paid, Steele to influence an election; and it knew, and facilitated, Steele neither registering as a foreign agent nor reporting his funding from the Democratic National Committee and the Clinton campaign to the Federal Election Commission.

Third, if Mueller’s theory is correct, then three things make PerkinsCoie a potential target: it knew Steele was a foreign citizen; it knew, and paid, Steele to influence an election; and it knew, and facilitated, Steele neither registering as a foreign agent nor reporting his funding from the Democratic National Committee and the Clinton campaign to the Federal Election Commission, by disguising its receipt of payments from the Clinton campaign as a “legal expense.”

Fourth, if Mueller’s theory is correct, then three things make the DNC a potential target: it knew Steele was a foreign citizen; it knew, and paid, Steele to influence an election; and it knew, and facilitated, Steele neither registering as a foreign agent nor reporting his funding from the Democratic National Committee and the Clinton campaign to the Federal Election Commission, by disguising its payments to Steele as laundered legal expenses to a law firm.

Fifth, if Mueller’s theory is correct, three things make the Clinton Campaign a potential target: it knew Steele was a foreign citizen; it knew, and paid, Steele to influence an election; and it knew, and facilitated, Steele neither registering as a foreign agent nor reporting his funding from the Clinton campaign to the Federal Election Commission, by disguising its funding of payments to Steele laundered through a law firm as a “legal expense.”

Don’t expect such an indictment. Mueller chose his targets because he knows they will never appear in court, never contest the charges, and cannot be arrested or extradited as Russian citizens. Mueller’s unprecedented prosecution raises three novel arguments: first, that speaking out about American politics requires a foreign citizen to register under the Foreign Agents Registration Act; second, that speaking out about American politics requires a foreign citizen list their source and expenditure of funding to the Federal Election Commission; and third, that mistakes on visa applications constitute “fraud” on the State Department. All appear to borrow from the now-discredited “honest services” theories Mueller’s team previously used in corporate and bribery cases, cases the Supreme Court overturned for their unconstitutional vagueness. The indictment raises serious issues under the free speech clause of the First Amendment and due process rights under the Fifth Amendment.

Estate Plans Fast!

I have been drafting estate plans since 1989 and now devote much of my practice to estate planning.  I can usually see new clients within a few days of their first call concerning their need for a customized estate plan. I can usually have their new estate plan ready for signature within a week of that first conference, so long as the client gets all of his or her essential documents (like deeds) to me right way.

I always suggest an estate plan that will avoid probate court fees and expenses for the heirs of an estate. This often requires the use of a beneficiary deed or a revocable living trust. In addition to these documents my basic estate plan typically includes a will, a durable power of attorney in order to avoid conservatorship, and a medical power of attorney in order to avoid guardianship.

Fees for estate plans usually range from $250 to $1500 depending on the documents needed.
